[SLO]

Zgodba je nadvse preprosta, navidez prijetno minimalistična: neodgovorna, lena, nepremišljena, z alkoholom zasvojena mlada mati (Zoe) nekega večera pelje svojo najstniško hčer Lizzy (Ella Ballentine) živet k očetu, saj se nenehno prepirata in nazadnje preprosto ne prenašata več. Med obvozom po odmaknjeni podeželski cesti ju v deževni noči preseneti volk, ki stoji sredi cestišča, in nesreča je na mokrem asfaltu neizogibna. Razen nekaj bušk in modric mati in hči nista huje poškodovani, vendar je avtomobil zdaj neuporaben. Pokličeta 911 ter vlečno vozilo in skleneta počakati na pomoč. Ampak nekaj jima ne da miru: tisti volk je bil že prej ranjen in okrvavljen, nekaj ga je očitno napadlo. Za nameček njegovo truplo kmalu izgine iz soja žarometov vozila. Kaj se dogaja? - Filmoljub

[ENG]

In suburban Perth during the mid 1980s, people are unaware that women are disappearing at the hands of serial killer couple John and Evelyn White. After an innocent lapse in judgment, Vicki Maloney is randomly abducted by the disturbed couple. With her murder imminent, Vicki realizes she must find a way to drive a wedge between Evelyn and John if she is to survive. Hounds of Love is an exercise in expertly-crafted tension, offering a bold, challenging debut from writer/director Ben Young.

************

The sinister side of suburbia isn’t a novel topic of contemplation in Australian cinema; as Animal Kingdom and Suburban Mayhem have proven, the danger that lurks in ordinary rows of average-looking homes is becoming as common a fascination as the menace of the outback. However, something particularly unsettling skulks beneath the sun-lit surface of thriller Hounds Of Love. Making his first feature after a string of shorts and music videos, writer/director Ben Young parlays his gripping peek at the perils waiting behind closed doors into more than just another crime-oriented effort. -Sarah Ward, Screen Daily

Via Liffe

Mia Hansen-Love se oddalji od svoje najljubše mladostne tematike in s pomočjo izvrstne Isabelle Huppert izriše portret ženske, ki mora v zrelih letih zaživeti na novo. Srebrni berlinski medved za najboljšo režijo. 

Nathalie uči filozofijo na srednji šoli v Parizu. Svoje delo strastno opravlja, še posebej uživa, ko se z učenci predaja razmišljanju. Nekega dne ji mož sporoči, da jo zapušča zaradi druge ženske. Nathalie se mora zdaj postaviti povsem na novo. V raziskovanju nove svobode se skuša dokopati do spoznanja, kaj pomeni biti srečen, film pa se v spremljanju njenih poti sprašuje tudi, kako je mogoče filozofijo uporabiti v vsadanjem življenju.

"Mojo željo posneti film o učiteljici filozofije, ki se svojemu delu posveča z obsedenostjo, je okrepilo pomanjkanje filmske svobode glede upodobitve intelektualcev in spremenljivega razvoja idej. Le v redkih filmih izvemo, katere časopise berejo liki, s katerimi idejami se povezujejo in katera politična vprašanja jih vznemirjajo. /.../ Ganjena sem, ko slišim imena krajev, skozi katera gredo liki. Prav tako ko izvem za imena revij, ki jih berejo, ali zasedb, ki jih poslušajo. /.../ Povezano je z našo potrebo po spominu, krhkostjo življenja in željo nositi njegove sledi." (Mia Hansen-Løve)

[ENG]

What happens when the life you've worked so hard to build falls apart? In THINGS TO COME, Oscar nominee Isabelle Huppert, in "a career-best performance" (Jordan Hoffman, Vanity Fair), portrays Nathalie, a philosophy teacher juggling a rich life of the mind with the day-to-day demands of career and family, which include frequent visits to her drama queen mother, played by the legendary Edith Scob(Eyes Without a Face). But with the bombshell revelation that her husband of 25 years is leaving her, Nathalie finds herself adrift, but also with a newfound sense of liberation. With nothing to hold her back, Nathalie sets out to define this new phase of her life and to rediscover herself. Winner of the Best Director award at the 2016 Berlin International Film Festival, the acclaimed new film from Mia Hansen-Love (Eden) is a soul-searching look at what it means to create a life of one's own.

Zgodba filma se odvija se v sarajevskem hotelu, kjer v organizaciji Evropske unije prirejajo svečano večerjo ob stoletnici začetka prve svetovne vojne. Po dolgem času hotel spet deluje s polno kapaciteto, vendar pa banka zahteva poravnavo dolgov in zaposleni pripravljajo stavko prav v času, ko prihajajo častni gostje. Če večer propade, bo propadel tudi hotel. Direktor hotela skuša preprečiti stavko s pomočjo mafijca, ki upravlja striptiz bar v kleti, istočasno pa se v improviziranem televizijskem studiu odvija poseben program, posvečen stoletnici sarajevskega atentata. Dogajanje prekine neobičajen gost: Gavrilo Princip. -Kolosej

[ENG]

Sarajevo on 28 of June, 2014. At the Hotel Europa, the best hotel in town, the manager Omer prepares to welcome a delegation of diplomatic VIPs. On the centenary of the assassination that is considered to have led to World War I, an appeal for peace and understanding is supposed to start from here. But the hotel staff have other worries: having not been paid for months, they are planning to go on strike. Hatidza from the hotel laundry is elected strike leader even though her daughter Lamija, who works in reception, is firmly against industrial action. Meanwhile, in the sealed-off presidential suite, a guest from France rehearses a speech. Elsewhere, a television reporter conducts interviews about war and its consequences. Was Gavrilo Princip, the 1914 assassin, a criminal or a national hero? What long shadow does his deed cast into the present?

Danis Tanović, whose An Episode in the Life of an Iron Picker screened in Competition at the Berlinale in 2013, offers a satirical parable about political dreams and nightmares. His Hotel Europa, which he portrays from its cellar passageways right up to its sunlit roof terrace, becomes an arena of hope, violence and death. -Berlinale

Ganljiva brazilska drama z razorožujočo toplino raziskuje pomen spola in biološke družine v človekovem življenju.

Sedemnajstletni Pierre je sredi pubertete. Igra v glasbeni skupini, na zabavah seksa z dekleti, doma pa se skrivaj oblači v ženska oblačila in pred ogledalom občuduje svoj naličeni obraz. Z mamo in mlajšo sestro živi lagodno, dokler se mu vse ne postavi na glavo, ko nekega dne odkrije, da je bil ob rojstvu ukraden iz porodnišnice. Mamo zaprejo in Pierre spozna svoja biološka starša, ki sta ga vsa ta leta obupano iskala, zdaj pa se na vse pretege trudita nadoknaditi zamujeno. A Pierre, sedaj Felipe, se v novi družini ne znajde najbolje. Še več, občutek ima, da so ga že drugič "ukradli" ...

"Filmski svet je kočljiv za vsakogar. Moške, ženske, Brazilce, Američane. Je ena najbolj nevarnih industrij sveta, saj je umetnost in posel obenem. /…/ Kompleksen je za vse. Moj nasvet: ustvarjaj, pokaži svoje delo drugim, zastavljaj vprašanja. Navsezadnje je rezultat tisto, kar šteje, s kulturo mačizma ali brez nje."

Med brezskrbno avanturo doživljata trenutke blažene sreče in nedolžnega veselja, a jih grenijo tudi prebliski občutkov krivde in zmede. Zaključek ljubezenske zgodbe je prepuščen razlagi vsakega gledalca posebej. -HBO Slovenija

FOR LOVERS ONLY is a story of a MAN and a WOMAN in love. After seeing each other for the first time in years while on separate work assignments in Paris, the LOVERS flee together and travel by train, car and motorcycle, as their love affair takes them across France-from Normandy to St. Tropez. Throughout their trip, both characters experience long periods of carefree bliss and unrepentant joy punctuated by brief moments of guilt and confusion. The final outcome of the affair is left open to interpretation. This picture is a study and meditation on two LOVERS. A picture that practices restraint and embraces limitation-that allows the viewer to hold no judgement on the LOVERS behavior, but to accept these two and their passion for one another as something beautiful and rare. Snippets of information begin to reveal who these two are, but it's not enough to judge them. It's the viewer's participation that creates the intrigue as the screenplay delicately weaves vital information about the LOVERS into the narrative thread. Shot in two weeks on a whirlwind tour through the most romantic Old World cities of Europe-FOR LOVERS ONLY is inspired by Claude Lelouche's A MAN AND A WOMAN encapsulates the spirit of the French New Wave. This approach allowed the Polish Brothers to get to the heart of storytelling. It's bare, simple and complicated at times, where every word counts-every moment meaningful-not a breath wasted. -Rotten Tomatoes

An embarrassment to his parents and abandoned by his ex-wife, it seems as if things can't get much worse. But then Joe finds himself trapped in the mess he left behind-in the cross fire between a crooked sheriff, the vengeful DA, and a mafia kingpin who knows too much. Delightfully suspenseful and blackly comic, "Small Crimes" follows Joe's desperate and misguided attempts to extract himself from this nightmare, only to dig himself into a deeper-and bloodier-hole.

[ENG]

Already struggling to survive in the modern economy, a small Czech town is hit by tragedy in this sprawling mystery miniseries from the team behind Agnieszka Holland’s Burning Bush.

In the recent renaissance of television programming coming from Eastern Europe, it seems that each new series is better than the last. The trend continues with the Czech thriller Wasteland.

Set in a small town in northern Bohemia, Wasteland tells the story of a coal mining village torn apart by greed and secrets. Crushed by financial problems, with their tiny and vulnerable economy on the brink of collapse, the town's residents are faced with a difficult dilemma — whether to sell their homes to a coal company that wants the natural resources underground, or stick it out in a near-hopeless situation. At the centre of it all is an ambitious mayor who seeks to hold true to their way of life. But it isn't long before strange events start occurring. First the locals find dead animals hanging from trees... and then the mayor's daughter goes missing. The town embarks on a search, but they'll find something other than what they're looking for: long-buried truths tucked away in the deepest, darkest parts of the woods.

But when Danny accidentally swaps the wrong bag, this pair of unlikely criminals is thrown together on a two-day odyssey to get the missing briefcase back. They travel through the boroughs and suburbs of New York City by train, bus and stolen bicycle - they break into a house - they tell half-truths about who they are - and they find themselves, in the midst of this chase, beginning to be slowly drawn to one another.

Boston, 1926. The '20s are roaring. Liquor is flowing, bullets are flying, and one man sets out to make his mark on the world. Prohibition has given rise to an endless network of underground distilleries, speakeasies, gangsters, and corrupt cops. Joe Coughlin, the youngest son of a prominent Boston police captain, has long since turned his back on his strict and proper upbringing. Now having graduated from a childhood of petty theft to a career in the pay of the city's most fearsome mobsters, Joe enjoys the spoils, thrills, and notoriety of being an outlaw.
